It's possible that they can make that claim but if you ship the items via a special or recorded delivery service, a signature would be required from the recipient so plausible deniability of receiving the goods becomes less plausible.

Most if not all couriers should offer such a service. Depending on the value of the item, shipping where a signature from the recipient is required may be mandatory.

Amazon is another possibility for you to sell your items though I don't know what seller fees are like there.

I just use Gumtree... and I think that's the best way to sell locally..

I prefer to meet the person Im selling to.

But I recently sold a lens I had to send to London anyways.
